AU Zenith+ Credit Card: rewards, caps and exclusions
The AU Zenith+ Credit Card pays about 2% on Food, Transport, and 1% on everything else. Below is every rate, cap and exclusion in AU Small Finance Bank's published terms, as we last checked them on 9 October 2026.
What it earns
≈ marks a rate paid in points, valued at ₹1 a point. That is Zenidhi's conservative valuation, the same one the audit uses: the cheap end of what the points can be redeemed for, never the best transfer. Redeemed well, they can be worth more.
What earns nothing
Spend in these categories earns no rewards on this card, however it is paid for:
- Cash withdrawals and fees
- EMI conversions
- Fuel
- Railway bookings
- Tolls
What costs extra
Worse than earning nothing: AU Small Finance Bank charges a fee for these.
- 1% on Rental Spends (domestic), at least ₹99, plus GST
- 1% on Utility Spends, plus GST
- 1% on Fuel Spends, plus GST
- 1% on Education spends through third-party apps, at least ₹99, plus GST
- 1% on Transportation (local commute, passenger railways, tolls), plus GST
Milestones
